<p>These are the 3 schools I have gotten into so far. I am still waiting on Georgetown, but there is essentially a 0% chance I am getting in there so I'm creating this post as if I got rejected. </p>

<p>What I know:</p>

<p>The three schools:
Richmond
Wake Forest
William and Mary</p>

<p>Cost:
Full cost for all of them, cost is also not an issue. Wake Forest is about 10k cheaper a year though.</p>

<p>Size:
Richmond is a little too small but I'm fine with all of them</p>

<p>Location:
Not an issue</p>

<p>Weather:
Not an issue</p>

<p>Sports Quality:
Not an Issue</p>

<p>Degree Wanted:
Economics or Finance or International Business (unless I can double major in which I will pick two)</p>

<p>Other Notes:
I visited Richmond and liked the campus a lot. I know William and Mary is public, I just don't know if that will hurt or help the feel of the school. I will know no one coming into my freshman year, so the last thing I want is cliques already formed before I get there.
They are all ranked very closely to each other in Business week top undergrad business schools.
Also ranked closely to each other in Newsweek, except richmond is in LAC at #25, whereas wake is 23 and William and Mary is 32 in national universities.
I'm out of state.</p>

<p>Right now. I can't put one over the other. On the off-chance that I do get into Georgetown, I am going there for sure. If not, I am stuck choosing between these 3. </p>

<p>They are all good schools and comparable. My personal preference would be Wake Forest then Richmond. </p>

<p>If you’re trying to rule out places and you think Richmond is a little too small, then rule it out.</p>

<p>Personally my preference would also be Wake Forest - well known for business, and I tend to think of W&M as more of a liberal arts place. But that’s only based on personal stereotyping.</p>

<p>It isn’t too small. I just threw the thought out there. I do agree william and mary is too liberal artsy, and I don’t like how its public, meaning I wouldn’t want so many people from Virginia there. I think, for business or an economics degree, it has to be Wake Forest or Richmond. </p>

<p>Go with Wake - you will find you get a better quality of education … </p>
